It parses the capabilities and uses the url advertices for GetMap requests -
and we don't have an API to retrieve provider internals.

There also is an option to ignore that url and form the GetMap request using
the original URL and ignore what GetCapabilities reports.  Not useful in this
case - but something to consider for others.
